About
Creative Director
Meg McQuade Boyle
Meg develops the creative pathway that inspires engagement and action. Drawing on 25+ years of experience in philanthropy and economic development writing and marketing, Meg glides seamlessly between strategy and execution.
Meg’s relationship with PPR Strategies began back in 2009, having worked as a freelance writer, then a full-time writer and editor for our firm until 2023. She returns to us after a two-year interlude as the lead writer and communications strategist for The Solvent Group. At this small and mighty consulting firm, Meg helped nonprofits win hearts and raise revenue for their mission-driven work.
For the first decade of her career, Meg was a communications and fundraising professional for independent schools and nonprofits in the Mid-Atlantic, having developed a love for Old Bay and Otterbein’s Cookies along the way. A proud New Englander to the core, Meg received her B.A. in English with honors from College of the Holy Cross and considers lobster rolls a food group.
